The Spin

The court's actions protect democratic institutions from coordinated efforts to undermine Brazil's sovereignty and judicial system. Bolsonaro repeatedly violated clear restrictions designed to prevent obstruction of justice in his coup case, while his son's lobbying campaign seeks foreign interference in domestic legal proceedings.

This represents judicial overreach and political persecution disguised as law enforcement. Bolsonaro faces arrest threats simply for speaking to journalists, while his son Eduardo gets his assets frozen for advocating in Washington. These extreme measures silence legitimate political opposition and demonstrate Brazil's descent into authoritarianism.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 0.5% chance that Alexandre de Moraes will cease to be a Brazilian Supreme Court justice before 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
